Two new ebooks: Guns, Fire and Hoses by Susan Smith and Adventure in the Swiss Alps – The Secret Cave, by Roger Bonner

Hi, Brian.

Well I've done it. My first novel, Guns Fire and Hoses, is finished and is now available on Smashwords. I had a
lot of help along the way, from many sources, including some of your very
inspiring workshops. So thanks for that!

Your readers can get a free copy by clicking the Buy
button and entering $0.00 for the
price (Smashwords will ask you to create a free account if you don't already
have one). See here.

Thanks, and have a great summer!

Guns Fire and Hoses, an ebook by Susan E. Smith

In Boothville, a small northern town in
the Canadian province of Ontario, everything is falling apart. The town’s main
employer, a gold mine, has shut down, the workers are rioting, and people are
getting hurt; just ask Walt, the local RCMP Sergeant who ends up in the
hospital, and Kinsie, a spunky red-haired paramedic who isn’t afraid to speak
her mind and nearly ends up dead because of it.

But what is really going on in
that closed-down mine? Only the CEO of the Great Northern Development Company
knows for sure, and maybe his attractive young secretary. And that big-city
real estate salesman who goes by the name of Hawke… whose side is he really on?
In the middle of everything is a hobbit-sized taxidermist with a Balrog-sized
pile of bills and a love life that’s way too complicated, whose past is about
to catch up with him. Unless he and everyone else can find a way to work
together, it will soon be impossible to avert an environmental disaster that
could mean the end of Boothville.

Dear Brian,

Many thanks for helping me improve my children’s book about a
Canadian kid who visits his Swiss grandparents at their farm high in the Alps! I
followed your editorial comments and revised it completely. It is now a much
better book.

I've now self-published Adventure in the Swiss Alps – The Secret Cave, and it's available as an e-book from Amazon for just $3.89 here.
